I learned from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TELNET that telnet is a network protocol or a local area network connection. It is considered insecure due to its many limitations. I learned about telnet at the Library of Congress Information System located at telnet://140.147.254.3 . This site launches a telnet program in which you can navigate using preset commands that you are given at the opening of the program.
